Why do you take naps in the middle of the trail. At least you could take your rests off to the side. GEESH....some people.

I haven't been to El Moro in a while, but Rattlesnake sure looks well-groomed and very tame in that photo compared to my last time there a few years ago. It's also very wide!

I know that feeling all to well only that is what I look like after the climb, not the descent.
